Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula in a child: a rare presentation

Shubhi Agrawal, Annapurna Patwari, Shailvi Singhal, Kalpana Bansal, Poonam Narang.


Abstract
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an abnormal shunting between the segmental artery and radicular vein adjacent to the dural root sleeve in the spine. This is the most common vascular malformation of the spinal cord and is a rare but treatable cause of para or quadriplegia. It most commonly occurs in elderly men and often affects the thoracolumbar region. These patients clinically present with progressive myelopathies, and other autonomic symptoms (e.g., bladder and bowel dysfunction) subsequently in the later course of the disease. Computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance imaging remain the modality for initial evaluation. Herein we present a rare case of spinal dural AVF in a child along with a review of imaging modalities. To the best of our knowledge, there are few case reports of this condition in a paediatric age group.

Key words: Spinal dural AVF, vascular malformation, Spine.
